Karnot.Ai Privacy Statement

Introduction

This is the Privacy Statement (“Privacy Statement”) for Karnot Artificial Intelligence Pvt. Ltd. (“Karnot”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Statement was last updated in July 2026.

Karnot understands that your privacy is important. Karnot is committed to protecting your privacy and personal information.

This Privacy Statement applies to the personal information you provide as you access and use materials on karnot.ai or other Karnot websites that post a link to this Privacy Statement (collectively, the “Site”), personal information that you submit to Karnot in response to a request for information or other outreach from Karnot, or personal information otherwise collected in connection with our business activities.

Generally, when Karnot receives personal information from our clients in the course of delivering our services, Karnot processes such information on the client’s behalf and acts as a data processor under applicable data privacy law; in such cases, this Privacy Statement does not apply.

Changes to This Privacy Statement

Karnot may, in its discretion, amend this Privacy Statement from time to time. To ensure you remain informed, changes to this Privacy Statement will be reflected on this page.

Personal information that we collect includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, employment information that may identify you (such as company, job title, or position), IP address, geolocation, and subject areas of interest. If you do not provide such information, you may not be able to submit an enquiry, book a consultation, or receive further information regarding our services.

Publicly available information.

Karnot may collect information about you from publicly available sources, including professional networking platforms and company websites, generally consisting of your name, email address, and employment information that may identify you. Where such information is obtained, Karnot takes reasonable efforts to confirm that it has been collected lawfully.

How We Might Use Your Personal Information

The purposes and uses of your personal information will depend on your use of the Site and the personal information provided. We process your personal information:

For the purposes of safeguarding the legitimate business interests pursued by Karnot.

This includes: communicating with you and managing your requests in relation to enquiries and consultations; identifying and engaging prospective clients, assessing potential business opportunities, and developing, managing, and improving relationships with current and prospective clients; understanding the Site’s user population and improving our web content and navigation; measuring and improving the effectiveness of our marketing programs; providing and improving our services, including conducting research, benchmarking, and analytics; promoting the security of the Site, protecting our brand and business interests, and asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims; and aggregating, anonymizing, or de-identifying data for our business purposes.

On the basis of your consent where required.

Insofar as you have granted us consent to the processing of personal information for specific purposes, the lawfulness of such processing is based on your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

For compliance with a legal obligation.

This includes obligations arising under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and other applicable laws, rules, and regulations of India or any other relevant jurisdiction.

How We Might Disclose Your Personal Information

The third parties to whom we may need to disclose personal information to help us provide our services and operate the Site include: our advisors; our third-party service providers who process information on our behalf to help run certain of our internal business operations, including email distribution, IT and hosting services, scheduling, Site security, and analytics; and law enforcement or regulatory bodies in order to comply with any legal obligation or court order.

We may also disclose your personal information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, financing transaction, merger, sale, joint venture, partnership, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business or assets.

Karnot does not sell your personal information in exchange for monetary consideration.

Where personal information is transferred to service providers located outside India, such arrangements are made only where we are satisfied that adequate levels of protection are in place, and the information remains accessible only to authorized persons bound by confidentiality and privacy requirements.

Retention of Your Personal Information

Karnot retains your personal information for so long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you, and the length of time thereafter during which we may have a legitimate need to reference your personal information; whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject; and whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position, such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitation or regulatory inquiries.

Marketing

If, at any time, you prefer not to receive further marketing communications from us in any or all forms, you will have the ability to unsubscribe from such communications by means of a link provided in every email sent to you by us, or by contacting us directly at the address provided in the “Contact Us” section below.
